And it’s not just the Hostess employee’s jobs. Also affected are all the vendors who provided materials to the Hostess factories. 18,500 is not the true effective jobs lost.

There will be a chain reaction in the areas the bakeries were in. Suppliers, support services, plus the former employees will be doing belt-tightening and not buying so much from local businesses.
